Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the technical field of material weighing systems, specifically a material weighing system integrated inside a tank truck. Background Technology

[0002] Material metering management has always been a key focus of the industry during tank truck transportation operations. The commonly used weighing solution is to set up a weighbridge system at a fixed location and calculate the net weight of the material by measuring the total weight of the tank truck. This static weighing method requires a dedicated weighing platform, sensor system and data processing terminal, forming a standardized weighing operation process.

[0003] The process of weighing materials in tank trucks using external weighbridges is cumbersome, makes it impossible to monitor loading status in real time, and can easily lead to vehicle overloading, posing safety hazards. Furthermore, the limited availability of fixed weighbridges makes accurate weighing difficult in remote areas or temporary work sites, restricting operational flexibility. Therefore, we propose a material weighing system integrated inside the tank truck. Utility Model Content

[0018] The technical solutions of the present utility model will be clearly and completely described below with reference to the accompanying drawings of the embodiments. Obviously, the described embodiments are only some embodiments of the present utility model, and not all embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present utility model, all other embodiments obtained by those of ordinary skill in the art without creative effort are within the protection scope of the present utility model.

[0019] Example 1

[0020] Please see Figures 1 to 4 This utility model provides a technical solution: a material weighing system integrated inside a tank truck, comprising: a tank body 1, a weighing mechanism 2 installed inside the tank body 1, the core components of the weighing mechanism 2 including a weighing plate 21 and a weighing sensor 24. When material enters the tank body 1 through the feed inlet, the material directly accumulates on the upper surface of the weighing plate 21. The weighing plate 21 transmits the weight of the material it bears to the weighing sensor 24 through the load-bearing beam 22 and the mounting base 23. The weighing sensor 24 converts the pressure signal into an electrical signal in real time and outputs it, thereby realizing real-time and dynamic weighing of the material inside the tank. To ensure that the weighing process is not disturbed by external factors and to prevent material leakage, a sealing mechanism 3 is specially provided on the weighing mechanism 2. The sealing mechanism 3 has a sealing strip 32 inside. Its unique feature is that it can control the sealing strip 32 to always be tightly attached to the inner wall of the tank body 1 through the internal mechanical structure to form a dynamic seal, and automatically send a monitoring signal when the sealing strip 32 is worn to the point that it needs to be replaced.

[0021] The weighing mechanism 2 includes a fixed base plate 25 fixedly connected to the inner surface of the bottom of the tank 1. The fixed base plate 25 serves as the basic support for the entire weighing system. The upper surface of the fixed base plate 25 is fixedly connected to the weighing sensor 24. The upper output shaft of the weighing sensor 24 is fixedly connected to the mounting base 23. The upper part of the mounting base 23 is fixedly connected to the load-bearing beam 22. The upper surface of the load-bearing beam 22 is fixedly connected to the weighing plate 21 to form a rigid structure. The weight of the material is transmitted to the weighing sensor 24 in sequence through the weighing plate 21, the load-bearing beam 22, and the mounting base 23. The strain gauge inside the weighing sensor 24 deforms and generates an electrical signal. After processing, the signal is displayed on the display screen in the cab, allowing the operator to monitor the loading amount in real time. To prevent material leakage from the gap between the weighing plate 21 and the tank 1, a sealing mechanism 3 is provided at the edge of the weighing plate 21.

[0022] The sealing mechanism 3 includes a sealing groove 31 formed on the edge of the weighing plate 21. A compression joint 33 is fixedly connected inside the sealing groove 31 by a snap fastener. The compression joint 33 is made of corrosion-resistant rubber material and has good elastic recovery performance. The outer end of the compression joint 33 is fixedly connected to a sealing strip 32, which is made of wear-resistant material and can slide within the sealing groove 31. A reserved groove 34 is formed on the lower inner surface of the sealing groove 31. A telescopic spring 35 is fixedly fixed inside the reserved groove 34. The upper end of the telescopic spring 35 is fixedly connected to a pulley seat 36. A rotating shaft 37 is fixedly connected to the pulley seat 36 through a bearing. A pulley 38 is rotatably connected to the outside of the rotating shaft 37. The pulley 38 forms a sliding connection with the lower surface of the sealing strip 32. In the initial state, the telescopic spring 35 is in a compressed state, and the pulley 38 pushes the spring into the lower surface of the sealing strip 32. The sealing strip 32 applies a continuous upward thrust, keeping it in close contact with the inner wall of the tank 1. As the usage time increases, the sealing strip 32 gradually wears down. The telescopic spring 35 pushes the pulley seat 36 upward to compensate for the wear gap. The micro switch 39, which is fixedly installed in the reserved groove 34, is always pressed against the pulley seat 36. When the sealing strip 32 wears to its limit, the pulley seat 36 is ejected from the reserved groove 34, the micro switch 39 pops out, triggering the alarm circuit and sending a signal to the operator to replace the sealing strip 32. This achieves the automatic monitoring function of the wear condition of the sealing strip 32.

[0023] Example 2

[0024] In this second embodiment, the other structures remain unchanged. The difference from the first embodiment is that the upper surface edge of the weighing plate 21 is provided with a flow guide chamfer 4. The flow guide chamfer 4 effectively solves the problem of material residue at the corners, ensuring complete unloading and reducing cleaning workload. The connection of the load-bearing beam 22 is provided with a reinforcing rib 5. The reinforcing rib 5 enhances the connection rigidity between the weighing mechanism and the tank, effectively dispersing dynamic loads and improving the service life of the system. The outer surface of the sealing strip 32 is provided with anti-slip texture 6. The anti-slip texture 6 prevents the sealing strip from sliding by increasing the friction coefficient, which can reduce the wear rate.
